The present invention generally relates to the field of containers and more specifically for a novelty gift bag for containing a bottle of wine or the like.
Gift bags similar to this invention, to my knowledge, are not currently on the open market. The purpose for the gift bag is to present a bottle (wine, beer, soda, water, etc.) at a social or special event, party, etc. The puppet portion of the bag is removable and is intended to be used for entertainment purposes.
The use of bags is known in the prior art. Bags are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, even with the numerous designs available. Bags, especially for wine bottles have traditionally been conservative in structure, a simple rectangular or cylindrical shape with a string handle.
The gift bag according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in doing so provides an alternative to the alternative staid bags presently available.
The foregoing in known gift bags are solved by a novelty gift bag.
An object of the present invention is a bag for carrying a container comprising an upper section, a lower section, attaching means, and a strap. The upper section and lower section are detachably connected via the attaching means, and the upper section is configured in the shape of a puppet. The upper section comprises a head with a mouth, ears and eye and an upper torso consisting of a shirt. The shirt conceals the attaching means when the upper section and lower section are connected.
A further object of the present invention is that a user may insert a hand into the upper section to manipulate the mouth of the puppet.
Another object of the present invention is that the head of the puppet has a rigid shape. The head of the puppet includes a craft-fuse fusible stabilizer skull.
Still a further object of the present invention is that the attaching means consist of a zipper.
Another object of the present invention is that the lower section is in the shape of a cylinder having a bottom and an opening at the top, The lower section is sized to allow a wine bottle to fit snuggly.
A further object of the present invention is that the strap is connected to the lower section of the bag.

For the purpose of illustrating the invention, there are shown in the drawings embodiments which are presently preferred.
